6.1 How Results are Ordered
Results are returned in an order comprising of:
• Practices matching practice name
• Practices with a clinician having the best name match
• Practices having the closest distance to the specified location. This means you will find
practices adjoining suburbs.
If provider name and postcode/suburb are entered as search criteria, the results are ordered by
• Practices with a clinician name and location match
• Practices with a clinician having the best name match, ordered by closest distance to the
specified location
• Practices having the closest distance to the specified location
If practice name is entered then matching results will be at the top of the list.
Speciality will simply restrict the search results to the practices that have a clinician with the
selected speciality.
A maximum of 50 search results will be returned.
Example:
Search on:
Provider Name = SMIT
Postcode/Suburb = 5000
This will return:
1. Any practices with a clinician of surname SMIT in the location 5000.
2. Any practices with a clinician having a best name match to SMIT.
a. Practices with a clinician of surname SMIT will be returned first. The practices will
be in order of closest distance to the location 5000.
b. Then any practices with a clinician of surname SMITH will be returned. The
practices will be in order of closest distance to the location 5000.
3. Any other practices by closest distance to location 5000.
